.nol's Main Title Tutorial #2 - This goes along with the IF skinning tutorial sort of.

nol
Hello, welcome to my maintitle tutorial #2. If I can find my first one, I will be glad to post it, but I think this ones better anyways. If you are able to see massive images, you can go to the bottom and view that tutorial, it might be easy anyways.

We will be using Photoshop Cs2, but it really shouldn't matter

This tutorial will help you create something like this:



(please note thisi is a little skinnier in length then your creating, and probably a little taller too)

Alright well lets get started, before we start please download the download just above the link to the picture at the bottom of this post

This is needed for the rest of this tutorial, and it saves a LOT of time.

First open up the .psd you downloaded, open up the backround layer, and go to right click-->blending options-->gradient overlay, we are going to make a base gradient, make this your color that is not your theme, usually gray.

Set it like this or something similar



Now go to stroke, and set the settings to 1px, and pick a color, preferably darker then the lighter color. Next go to the inner shadow and set your settings to something similar to this:



Now we are going to skip the third layer for a second and go to the third.
Do the exact same steps as before, using the same colors.

we are going to add one more setting to it though.

Go to inner glow, and add these settings



Now go back to your second layer, (the middle one) pick your primary color in your skin, and go through all the steps up to this one. And your done! ENJOY

    was walking her sister's chiwawa. (I usually love dogs, but that breed is not my favorite, to
    say the least. thats just a side note.) At first glance, she looked much younger than I am (She was
    31, I'm 25), I gave her 20 at the top. It was a period not long after my girlfriend, with whom
    i have been dating for about 4 to 5 months, dropped me like you get rid of a disease, so I was kinda

    not have them taking up a lot of space. And without using a bunch of php, while still presenting the
    entire picture. And using full-on CSS coding, not tables or frames. So here you go... a "picture in
    a picture" method. A CSS framed picture And a "hidden" "picture in a picture" method. A
    "hidden" CSS framed picture Sort of a way to 'hide the picture and let the user decide if they

    forum. As such, I have two ideas to make this tool even better. 1) Have the topics listed on page
    be sorted into two sections: one for new posts (at the top) and the other for topics without any new
    replies. 2) Make the topic subscriptions page be the default destination when you click the 'My

  18. Does Your School Have Well-defined Cliques?
    A sort of social order, if you will. (26)
    For those who don't know, cliques are basically groups of people that hang around together. It
    can be a small group of friends or a whole social group. Most stereotypical high schools have the
    nerds, punks, preps, ghetto, goths, emos/skaters, losers, etc., but are most high schools very
    stereotypical? I wouldn't really know since I go to a magnet high school for nerds, so the
    social classes are kind of blurred together. The nerds are friends with the preps, few people are
    considered losers, there's no ghetto, and we only had one goth for about a week. Also, ....

  21. What Sort Of Music Do You Listen To?
    What sort of music do you listen to? (72)
    Hi Everyone, Since I'm new, I just was wondering what sort of musical tastes everyone has. My
    favorite types of music are hard rock and metal. I also like 70s rock (Led Zeppelin, Yes, Rush, etc)
    and I like the more modern stuff, too (White Stripes, The Hives, Audioslave). My favorite band is

  22. How Much Bandwidth Do You Use?
    monthly. Just a sort of survey. (2)

    it got me to wondering, how much bandwidth do other people's sites use a month? In the 6
    months I've had my site at trap17 (and the years at other places) I've never used more than
    90mb in a month until this month, when i put up a (low activity!) forum, and I am at 191mb right
    now. Nowhere near going over the 5120 limit. Does anyone ever get close? Or is this worry just

    some sort of energy, pure good, god?? (10)
    If you look around yourself and things that happen you realize, that everything is in an unusual
    order (after fall comes winter, after day comes night,...). Is the source of this order purely and
    eniterly material or is there something else that puts things in order? I personaly think that
    there is something more than just our material world and the world of feelings (i mean the 5 major
    organs of sense and our emotions). I think that there is some sort of PURE GOOD outthere (that could
    also be called God or something else-it doesn't matter) and this pure good is t....
